Etymology
Salutare comes from the Romanian verb a saluta, meaning to greet or to salute, itself from Latin salutare, to wish someone health. Romanian regularly turns verb infinitives into feminine action nouns with the -are ending, so salutare literally means the act of greeting. Over time it also became a stand-alone casual interjection, used the way English speakers use hi or hey.
